JaReylan McCoy – EDGE

School: Tupelo (Tupelo, MS)

Size: 6’7”, 250 pounds

JaReylan McCoy is one of the most physically gifted defensive prospects in the 2026 class. At 6-foot-7, 250 pounds, he has an elite frame with explosive athleticism and raw power, making him a nightmare for offensive tackles. His length and reach allow him to control the line of scrimmage, and his ability to disrupt plays in the backfield makes him a top target for defensive-minded programs. Texas is looking to add game-changing edge rushers, and McCoy certainly fits the bill.

Corey Wells – DL

School: Petal (Petal, MS)

Size: 6’5”, 305 pounds

Recruiting Overview:

Texas has extended an offer to Corey Wells, a massive and physical defensive lineman out of Petal, Mississippi. At 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, Wells is a dominant force in the trenches, using his strength, quick first step, and relentless motor to collapse pockets and stuff the run. Despite his size, he moves well laterally and plays with great hustle, often chasing down plays behind the line of scrimmage. Texas is prioritizing interior defensive linemen who can be disruptors at the next level, and Wells is a name to watch.

Mason James – WR

School: Norman North (Norman, OK)

Size: 6’0”, 175 pounds

Recruiting Overview:

Mason James is an explosive, high-speed receiver who can take the top off defenses with his acceleration and route-running. At 6-foot, 175 pounds, he has a quick start-and-stop ability that makes him nearly impossible to contain in space. He also possesses excellent body control, allowing him to make difficult catches while maintaining separation. His dangerous ability in the return game makes him a multi-faceted weapon for any offense. Texas continues to seek dynamic playmakers, and James fits the mold of an elite offensive threat.

2027 Class Offers

Zerek Sidney – WR

School: Desert Edge (Goodyear, AZ)

Size: 6’0”, 170 pounds

Recruiting Overview:

Zerek Sidney has already made a name for himself as one of the top pass-catchers in the 2027 class. At 6-foot, 170 pounds, he combines elite speed, crisp route-running, and reliable hands, making him a dangerous deep threat. Sidney excels at stretching the field vertically, and his ability to create separation makes him a nightmare for defensive backs. Texas has been actively recruiting high-upside skill position players, and Sidney’s versatility makes him a strong addition to their recruiting board.
